The phrase “pimps posing as ordinary citizens” is both hilarious and telling.

For the past year Red Umbrella Project has studied New York’s “trafficking courts”, which define all sex workers as “victims”; to absolutely nobody’s surprise, the majority of those arrested are minorities, and in Brooklyn a stunning 94% of women arrested for “loitering for the purpose of prostitution” (in other words, “looking like a whore”) are black. Since Melissa Gira Grant, Noah Berlatsky and Michelle Chen all went into the findings in detail, I’ll just refer you to those articles.

Which views are “harmful” to be determined by the government, of course.

Despite the fact that the exploitation is clearly laid out here, the magic word appears only once, saying that a sting involved “only a tiny piece of the trafficking industry”. One can only surmise that because the smugglers only threatened to sell their “client” to a brothel (a threat made credible by the moral panic), the New York Times figures it isn’t a “real” case of “trafficking”.

-Tatoos–Of course tattoos are a good idea. The cops might not have enough evidence to convict otherwise. If I were running sex slaves I would have “Property of Mr Ecks” tattooed on them to make sure everybody knew whose they were. Also I think I would put my address on there as well so that any member of the public who finds a girl wandering around can bring her home like a little lost doggie. Problem solved.
–Scroguard?. This can’t be real can it?. It must be a spoof. It reminds me of the domestic robot Crichton from the UK sci-fi comedy “Red Dwarf”. He had a vacuum cleaner inside and the socket for the hose was exactly like and in the same place as the Scroguard.

As for UK hag Theresa May–yes she is a nasty piece of work. However most UK polits are stooges of the Senior Civil Service–the “Mandrinate” as they are called. Regardless of which hacks are in “power” the same nasty policies seem to appear sooner or later. This is because the SCS scum are pushing them–the polits are so dumb they more or less do as they are told.

Are the articles at the side a new feature or is your computer playing up?.

Of course “trafficking” does happen. We recently had a multiple homicide that was probably related to the real life kind. But the murders likely had to do with money around undocumented asian migrants working in restaurant kitchens — not sex.

when are the powers that be going to recognize that if you have to convince someone that they are a victim they probably aren’t. Of course if you the point out that their only options are victim or criminal and being a criminal involves prison, the choice becomes pretty obvious.

– First, when does a “victim” go around BRAGGING about being “victimized” … because that’s how this affair was discovered – when the victim went around bragging about it.

– Second, the victim never reported the “crime” … some bystander who heard him bragging about it did.

– Third, the Parish Police Chief justified the prosecution by stating words to the effect … “We all can agree that teachers having sex with students is a very bad thing”. Sure … it’s bad – but it’s NOT illegal so why was he using it to justify going after these women.

– Forth, what should have happened? The teachers should have been fired by the school board.

– Fifth, these people should have gotten a hotel room over the border in Mississippi, where the age of consent is 16.

Indeed. How stupid can you be? I hope he gets mandatory counseling as a “rape victim”. Maybe this will give him a bit of a clue. I also bet that the POS that reported this to the police was just envious.

Unfortunately, most states have laws that criminalize taking an underage “child” across the border to a venue with a lower age of consent. Not to mention that they would undoubtedly been prosecuted by the Feds then for “trafficking” the poor youth.

What I find ludicrous is the discrepancy between age of consent and age of marriage in most states– including Louisiana. You can’t consent to sex until 17 because the sex rays will warp you forever, but if your parents say it’s okay and you get a justice of the peace to sign a magic paper the sex rays suddenly become shimmering beams of Righteousness and it’s all okay. But only with that one person– whichever cute teacher didn’t sign the paper would still have bad sex rays.

A similar thing happened to me because the first girl I was with was 35 and I was 17. It wasn’t nearly as “seedy” as this though. She may have been attracted to me, or maybe she at least found me “acceptable” … but she was mostly doing the “mercy fuck”. She wasn’t a teacher either. And it WAS in MS … so I guess she didn’t violate the law as I was of age (as long as the law hasn’t changed since the ’70’s). And I kept my mouth shut about it too!

She got me over the “hump” … cuz I didn’t think I was ever going to get laid and would PRAY TO GOD every night for him to send me a willing girl (this is NOT bullshit, I did – puberty and that whole era was not kind to me – I was always stressed out). But not only did she get me through that – we used to lay around and she would talk to me about men, and what she found attractive in men (aside from the physical) … and what she expected in men … and what qualities good men have. This was invaluable to me, maybe even more valuable than the sex was. I don’t think many young boys get this kind of education and you can’t get it from 17 year old girls for sure.
